3) Are all the solos in your jazz pieces set or do you allow improvisation?

Boy, these are the toughest questions, always, since my interests shift so much. I think I'll refer to the list I gave here:

In the question of trad. vs. modern jazz, it really depends on the mood I'm in. I think both have a ton to offer. I probably listen to them about equally, though.
The solos are entirely improvised by the players. I wouldn't have it any other way, they're the masters of their instruments, and nothing I could write would have the same flow as we get from just firing up a mic and letting them go wild.
